Was just wondering what everyone thought of the whole poking thing on Facebook.

I've been talking to a friend of mine who remains convinced that people only ever poke people to flirt, and I kind of agree, but then again I'm not really sure.

What do you think, do people only ever really do the whole 'Poke' thing on people they like, or is it just one of those random things on there that has no significance whatsoever?

I have no clue really. I'm not an avid facebook person. I go on there about 3 times a week for about 5 minutes each time.

I guess the whole poke thing could be a flirting thing. This guy that used to be on here that liked me pokes me...

I sort of regret adding her actually. I posted a status saying 'Last night was f***ing awesome' and she replied with 'Geoffrey, where did you hear that sort of language'.

My retort of 'Most of it growing up in a house with you' didn't get a reply.

I do love my mum though.

In the past, I've only been poked by guys I've never even met So, I'm assuming that was their version of a chat up line

since then, I've restricted my profile

I actually think there is a group on Facebook called "Enough With the Poking, Let's Just Have Sex!"

Well, depending on the time of night and drunkeness of the girl, you might not get thumped

Some people may see it as a sign of flirting. For me, it's not since I poke a lot of people on my friends list...and a huge portion of those people are family. Hubby likes the daily poke though.

I think people are poking just for innocent fun. I don't think it's a flirting thing. I mean, my old algebra teacher sends me pokes from time to time. So, poking to flirt is kind of weird.

What bugs me about it (and I know I am an old geezer)is the little things like buying candy or whatever then wanting me to pay for it,and wanting me to join some kind of thing or other. I am not a joiner,and get bugged when people make asumptions like that.
